Very comfortable in every way and the shoes last a long time.

"I am ordering my 3rd pair of this model shoe today, one of the best walking shoes ever worn and I walk at least 3 miles a day. A few of the previous reviewers were not happy, my experience has been the opposite. As far as fit, everyone has different foot issues and these shoes are among the best I have worn for over 35 years of serious walking."

The shoe has some great features but has significant durability and construction flaws

"This shoe's durability and construction materials have issues, after about a year the shoe begins to fall apart on the lower outer sole opposite the arch. The foam cushion and the bottom rubber just fall apart. My dilemma here is I really like this shoe because keeps my feet from overpronating and it's comfortable yet its significant lack of durability limits the shoes life. I have spent a significant sum money for this for this to have happened 3 times on 3 pairs of this specific style of shoe."

"I purchased both the Pink Ribbon and the blue version of the 847 at the same time. The blue version fit like all my previous purchases, but the Pink Ribbon shoe was shorter and more narrow. Very disappointing and now I am not sure what to do other than return it! The reviews are all different, with different concerns."
